Centre de formation professionnelle Le Granit

Located in Lac-Mégantic, the Le Granit Vocational Training Center (CFP) offers training programs leading to vocational studies diplomas (DEP). It specializes in offering training programs in the forestry sector and is also the only institution in Quebec to offer the DEP in stone masonry.

More than 50% of the training offered as part of forestry-related programs takes place directly in the forest, on a 75-hectare site covered with trees of various species, where all forestry machinery is available. The hands-on training for the Maple Syrup Production program, meanwhile, takes place at a 20,000-tap teaching maple grove.

Since its inception, CFP Le Granit has also remained attentive to the needs of local businesses and organizations, thereby developing a range of training programs tailored to the demand for skilled labor across a wide variety of sectors (health care, mechanics, business, administration, trucking, etc.).
